Purpose

The Entrepreneurs’ Club brings together Asset management companies members of the AFG who are not subsidiaries of banking or insurance groups.

This Club enables entrepreneurial asset management companies, recognized for their contribution to the excellence of French asset management and their cutting-edge expertise, to take their rightful place in the asset management ecosystem.

The club hosts :

• Entrepreneurs’ lunches
• The entrepreneurs’ forum
• WG EMC (entrepreneurial management companies)

Goals

• Alert the various AFG commissions and ecosystem players to the specific features of entrepreneurial asset management companies, linked to their shareholder structure and/or size.

• Inform and train entrepreneurial asset management companies on all applicable regulations and their application.

• Offer exchanges and interactions with ecosystem service providers.

• Encourage exchanges and synergies between Club members.

How the club works

Meetings are held four times a year, according to a schedule drawn up by the Board and approved by the Club President.

Representing an AFG member within the Club implies a commitment to regular attendance and involvement at meetings.

Each AFG member participating in the Club must expressly respond to the invitation and confirm his or her physical or virtual presence, depending on the format of the meeting.

A deputy may be appointed. He/she will replace the incumbent if the latter is unavailable.

Only the member and his/her deputy may attend Club meetings. The AFG must be expressly notified of any change in the appointment of the member or alternate.

A virtual or physical attendance sheet will list the actual participants at the meeting, depending on the format chosen (physical/hybrid or both).

Given that the appointment of a deputy is possible, unexcused absences must be exceptional.

The Club’s decisions are taken by consensus and based on the principle of collegiality, ensured in part by the assiduity of its participants.

The composition of the Club must be permanently compliant with EUDONET under the responsibility of the rapporteur and on the basis of information provided by the members.

In the event of strong disagreement, and at the Chairman’s suggestion, a vote may be taken, or the matter referred to the Strategic Committee or the Board of Directors for arbitration.

The minutes of each meeting are drawn up by the rapporteur and approved by the Committee at the following meeting.
